The creation process of fashion designer André Lima: mapping islands-images

Abstract

The interest of this essay is to understand the multiplicity of variables that permeates creation processes in the contemporary fashion, through a map composed by imagistic private records, stored in the studio and through photographic records shared on the Instagram of the fashion designer Andre Lima from Para. The observation model and presentation strategy of this research is based on the concept of “mapping” as presented by the French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. In search of connections between images, the way Deleuze introduces the concept of “island” references the “open map” of imagistic references edited by the designer.
